Job 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 22:1

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said.
] As Eliphaz was the first that entered the discussion with Job, being perhaps the oldest man, and might be reckoned the wisest, so he gives the lead in every course of disputation; and here, instead of replying to Job's arguments and instances, at which he was very angry, betakes himself to calumny and reproach, and to draw invidious consequences, instead of making use of solid reasons for conviction and confutation.

Job 22:1 In-Context

1 respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites dixit

2 numquid Deo conparari potest homo etiam cum perfectae fuerit scientiae

3 quid prodest Deo si iustus fueris aut quid ei confers si inmaculata fuerit via tua

4 numquid timens arguet te et veniet tecum in iudicium

5 et non propter malitiam tuam plurimam et infinitas iniquitates tuas
